OCT The favors of our corrcapondciita, mill our re porta of Li'nislnt'Vo procccdinys have to-day so completely pre occupied our coluinua as almost to delude the possibility of our anying any tiling lliongh upon two or three topics we feel tUuug inclination to hold & chat with our readers. Tho communication from ".In Old Clay H'kig" tag-geala mailer upon which it behooves the Wliiga of Oiiio to reflect in the present exigency of puhlio affairs. Tho timt nf action is at linud and the intervening period should he faithfully uied by lliem, in considering the best means of applying their efforts to Hie attainment of their wish. On this point there are a diversity of viows among the Whigs oi Ohio. Touching th great fundamental doctrines of the Whig pirly, there is no such diversity; hut on the contrary, so far as we aro advised, the most perfect unity of sentiment. Those who Hatter themselves that the Whigs of Ohio are going to fritter away their Itrenglli and disgrace themselves by vain and frivolous distention among themselves, will find in all good time that they have s jwn to deception, aiiu,arc doum-ed to gamer the fruits of disappointment. The signs from the various parts of the State war rant us in this conclusion lleaides the communication from An Old Clay Whig," (whose signnlure is truly descriptive of Hie writer,) we have this day met with well considered and well written articles by the Bailors respectively of the .W.m'eiM Intelligencer and the Toledo Utadi, taking views, and arriving at conclusions substantially the same as our corres. prudent. It is somewhat remarkable, and tvo trust ominous of good, that leading minds among the Whigs of tho extreme Soulh-East the extreme North-Weal, and at the centre, for our correspondent is a citiien of a central (though not of Franklin) county ehould each as it were simultaneously put forth bis views, without tho possibility of a consultation Willi each other, ami each breathing the same spirit. The Whig mind of Ohio was never more deeply imbued with thought. Our people fully appreciate the momentous consequences to our Country for all tune to come, which bang upm tho result of their action. They will ponder deeply they will think intently and when the time for action shall have arrived, they will, wo doubt not act harmoniously, and as becomes freemen, having in their custody tlio honor and the welfare of llleir country. The first great step is already taken. A National Convention is resolved upon. Ohio will go into tint Convention willl a single eye to the welfare of our common country, and the triumph of good old-fault, ioned Whig principles. Slio has more than ono son, in whose hands the interests and destinies of tho lie-public would he safe, rjhc loves, honors, and rheriahes these sons. They are "bone of her bone, and hV.ll of herllesh." Their h r is her pride. Hut dearly ns she luves her sons fondly as she cherishes their fame -.As loett tht Hepuhlie more. No considerations jneri-ly ptTsoii.. will for a moment interfere with her high sense of duty. Such consierations will bo ro. gardcd by. her as the very dust in the balance. Let the W higs of other rJUles meet her in this spirit of conciliation, and there will be next October such a rout of Leicnrotiolitiii il- iw gl., will never again visit these United Slates. .

Mr. Smith of Hamilton, moved the indefinite postponement of the bill. Mr. PcsNixnro, addressed the House in favor oi the lull, nnd against the postponement. Mr. Anriiosv moved lo amend the hill by striking out all after the enacting clause, nnd inserting a provision for the appointment of commissioners to revise Ihe rules and practice uf the Courts, and report to the next i.egiHiature. The debate was further continued by Mr. Perry against Ihe bill, nnd Mr. Pennington in defence. , Mr. La witKNt v, moved to amend Ihe amendment by adding Ihe following sections: Hxe.

Stt, . That said commissioner slinll, if they ilcem it proitcr, adopt such a system of practice as will nniily the forms of the proceedings in chnncery to nil cacs nt common law, and make, such other re mit as will fiirdiiato thu administration of justice ; W Inch was mongrel-rt to. '('li? amendment of the gentleman from Clark (Mr. Anthony,) was llifn disagreed to. Mr. PfcSMM.Tn moved to strike out the loth sec tiou of the bill, which provides that nine jurymen may render a verdict carried. Mr. Pr.s.iixoTos further moved to amend the Ihth section, so (hat Ihe charge nf the judge, at the reijues-tion of either of the parties, shall lw in writing and confined to the law carried. The bill was ordered lo be engrossed, yeas $3, nays and colored children in our State. It proposes to give Ihern schools by themselves, unless they can be permitted to enter while schools without any objection, and tax their own properly for the support of those schools. - It gives them their proportion of Iho school fund derived from lands granted by Congress to this Slate to educate ALL tho youth without any distinction whatever. That tho lands were granted to educate colored ns well as white youth, no person can doubt who will give the subject a candid consideration. The Ordinance of l?r7 the fundamental law of our Slate, provides that religion, morality and knowledge being necessary to good government and happiness oi mankind, schools and the means of education shall farrrtr i encouraged." On Ihe 30th day of April, lot!;, Longresa in pursuance ol tlio principles asserted in the ordinance of 187 passed an act declaring, 11 the following several tracts of land in OhioaroJicre-by appropriated for the use of schools in that Stole. and shall, together with all the tracts of land heretofore appropriated for that purpose, be vested in the Icgislaturo uf that State in trust, for the use aforesaid, and fur no other use, intent or purpose whatever." No person can for a moment doubt the purpose for which lb esc lands were appropriated. Rut the consli. tution of our Slate is still more explicit on this suh- ject; in the twenty-fifth section, and eighth article it is declared, "Hint no law shall be passed to prevent the ponr in Ihe several counties in this State from an rqua) participation in the schools, academies, colleges ami universities within this Stute, which ore endowed, in wttoiu o, in port, from the revenue arising from donations made hy the United Stairs for thu support of schools and colleges ; am? tlio duora of aaid schools, academies and universities shall bn open for the reception of srholarst students and tenehrrs of every grade, wtttunit any distinction or prrjtrmce whatever contra, ry to the intent for which snid donations were made." That the framers of our constitution designed that every child should have the benefit of our common school system, of every grade, cannot for a moment bo doubted. It is to be hoped that this Legislature will bo divested of all prejudice, and look at this sub ject in the light of Christianity and philanthropy, and pass tins bill into a law, and thus commence a system of education for the colored man that must ultimately raise nun trom tin- degraded condiimn in wi.icti he has been placed by the white man. The question ia not, whether we dull have this hind ot population among us f They are here, and most of them have been born here; twenty thousand of the in look to us and are be. seeching us in God s name to give them tho means of an education. Shall we turn a deaf enr to their cries? I trust not. We are sending nur bibles and missionaries to tho far distant nations of the earth to con veil them from heathenism, and to turn their hearts to Ood, which ia all right; but at the same tune we are raising up a nation ot Heathens in our very midst. la this wise, is it right, and just r Have we not rea son lo fear, that, unless thia ma is of ignorance which is accumulating upon us, is educated, that sooner or later it will burst fori), and the white man be mode to feel the truth of the remark, "thai he who soweth to tht irind, shall of the wind reap tht Khirhnnd." The vengeance of God will not always slumber towards this notion, for its oppression ol the colored race. Sooner or later, unless we repent, this nation will be made to feel that God is a Gud of justice, as well as it mercy Mr. Cosvlhsr moved lo recommit the bill and amendments to the standing committee on common schools He wss not adverse to the object of the bill, but he wished to see what alterations the amendment made in it. Mr. Niom Imped it would be recommitted. Hit feelings were favorable to furnishing some means for educating the colored population ; but he wished to know exactly what the bill contemplated before he yavo it his vole. The bill was then recommitted. Sundry other bills were reported back and ordered to be engrossed. Senate resolution relative to pining fur maps, was agreed lo. senate amendment to House resolution relative to newspaper poslngo was agreed to.

The corpor ators naiiii'd 111 Itus bin were, ucuciidtcu, iviium 1 men and friends of learning. It was not to this par-lieulnr institution, bul Ihe policy of incorporating so many that lie objected. There were now in Hamilton county half a doxen colleges in some sorl ofope-rotiou-the Xavier a College, Cincinnati College, St. John's College, Woodward College, and the Farmer'e c.iIhihi at least. The Prolestsnt Umvesity of Ihe Unili d Htales, incorporated two or uireo yeni-ng, w Ik- located in Cnicmnaii, had been strangled iy uie provisions requiring llie Trusted lo acquire properiy real or personal lo the amount of $i:if0UH before going inlo operation. Kv.denlly it would he for heller for the cause of learning, in such a county aa Hamilton to have one or two well endowed institutions, rather than a doicn siarveline colleges and universities poe-sessing authority confer degrees, but nol Ihe means of qunhfvingstudcnls lo receive them. i- 1 vu.i. roml tr a renortof the enuimittre on universities end colleges, msde lo ihe tienale in lrM4 5, shewing Hie conditi-in of llie colleges of Ihe Slate, and the impolicy of multiplying college charters.
